About Guadalupe

This small community nestled between Tempe and Phoenix is primarily residential with retail and service businesses catering to locals and visitors.

Named for the Virgin of Guadalupe, patron saint of Mexico, Guadalupe was founded by Yaqui Indians who fled their homeland in Sonora at the turn of the century. Manufacturing, agriculture and hospitality services also provide jobs. Most residents commute to Phoenix or neighboring Tempe for employment.
